08/09/2009
 
Well picked this up a couple of weeks ago
 
my word, what an upgrade from my 1.2 corsa lol
 
drinks fuel like theres no 2mora but thats only until i get over the power lol
 
i'll let the pictures do the talking
 

 

 

 

 
all the usual gti specs such as auto wipers/lights etc
 
extras; full leather, heated seats, parrot bluetooth that plays through the cd player, colour coded skirts, lower rear bumper, lower front bumper

23/09/2009
 
 
passed MOT y'day and ive just recieved everything so i can fit HID's into the lights today so they will be in either tonight or 2mora night
finally got my private plate on and got some pressed plates too, on the look out for a civic type r aerial atm but mods are coming slowly lol
few recent pics frm my other thread
 
im just gonna update this one rather than making new ones with my progress
 




 
get paid on friday ant i think im going to be ordering a bra for it, not for looks as not a massive fan but i do abit of motorway millege and the corsa's bonnets in a state from stone chips so think its a wise move for when ive got long motorway journeys

29/09/09

well tried to fit HID's but its not as simple as the corsa they got bulb holders and decoders which was the simple bit but then the wiring bit i couldnt fatherm out, saul popped down and he couldnt either so wasted night on friday tbh

pressed plates are on

HID's





golf in bits for nothing in the end lol







29/09/09

bra time lol
this isnt a regular thing just for long motorway journeys, it was fitted here as id just got it
only been on one since n that was for a 60mile motorway journey




also on way back frm the red rose area i managed to get this out of her



and also my hid problem

look below where both the wires going into the light are both coated black so i have no clue which is positive or negative therefore can't connect HID wires

liver:
*10/10/09*

HID's fitted and fully working, including automatic lighting and when i lock/open the car, finally lol

HID's moounted





then cleaned the car and took some pics












only problem is all the sidelights i have wont work as the car thinks the bulbs have blown due to reduced amp power with them so turns them off and light symbol comes on the dash so the lights are looking gay atm

cheers for looking

Greeners:
Great progress so far!

You just need to put a reistor in line before the bulb so the car doesn't sense the drop in voltage from the led!  :happy2:

liver:
cheers, is this hard to do??im useless with electrics tbh lol

also im not sure what colour to do my vw badges on the front and back.

Im wanting the gti on the front grill red i think hmmm

T88OMM:
Car looks nice mate, H.I.D.'s are a bit of a touchy subject on here, I hope TT does not see this thread!  :grin:
